Ebook About
Education has become synonymous with schooling, but it doesn't have to be. As schooling becomes increasingly standardized and test driven, occupying more of childhood than ever before, parents and educators are questioning the role of schooling in society. Many are now exploring and creating alternatives. In a compelling narrative that introduces historical and contemporary research on self-directed education, Unschooled also spotlights how a diverse group of individuals and organizations are evolving an old schooling model of education. These innovators challenge the myth that children need to be taught in order to learn. They are parents who saw firsthand how schooling can dull children's natural curiosity and exuberance and others who decided early on to enable their children to learn without school. Educators who left public school classrooms discuss launching self-directed learning centers to allow young people's innate learning instincts to flourish, and entrepreneurs explore their disillusionment with the teach-and-test approach of traditional schooling.

Book Unschooled: Raising Curious, Well-Educated Children Outside the Conventional Classroom Review :



I'm too insecure to unschool - I admit it! I like a curriculum that I can thumb through and see where it is taking us. But I'm also from a generation that has nearly always known what it was like to have GPS at your fingertips. The concept of just seeing where the road will take you is a little bit terrifying to me -- but also exciting.But I am a fan of Kerry McDonald's writing, especially at Fee.org. Her rational and support of homeschooling is always well-researched and can shut up even the most ardent critics of homeschooling. So, of course I wanted to give her book a read!It didn't disappoint. Most books about homeschooling are more narrative in style, which can be nice and encouraging, but if you want some meat to justify just how wonderful homeschooling is at the Thanksgiving dinner table to all of your relatives that want to quiz your children, read this! Even if you use a more structured approach to your homeschool you'll enjoy this book. Although we are pretty structured, it has encouraged me to be more adventurous with my own kids during these spring/summer months and I have to say, it's been fun allowing ourselves a little freedom until our co-op begins again in the fall. And isn't that the beauty of homeschooling? To allow ourselves to try something new? To model that for our kids? In doing so, we truly learn more about ourselves than just following a prescribed, worn path.So whatever your family's homeschooling philosophies, give this one a read! Even if you don't become a full unschooler, you'll surely come away with some fresh ideas.
In Unschooled Kerry McDonald presents the case against traditional schooling and for unschooling, which is a form of homeschooling. In traditional schooling she says, “The most important lesson for children to learn is obedience and memorization.” It is a product of the industrial age and no longer relevant in what she terms the “Imagination Age.” Schooling she says, “results in a pattern of conformity, obedience and authoritarianism and prevents the development of creativity, exuberance, natural curiosity and inventiveness that are the hallmarks of the Imagination Age.” She distinguishes unschooling from homeschooling in that the latter is more structured and typically includes a curriculum, whereas unschooling is more self-directed learning in which the child decides what he or she wants to learn. Moreover, unschooling is “a moral choice” that “gives children more freedom and control over their lives by letting them learn instead of being schooled.” Ms. McDonald also provides numerous examples of unschooling choices and each chapter includes several unschooling tips.I think this book is extremely important reading for parents, teachers and anyone who is concerned with education. At the same time there are considerations that Ms. McDonald does not really address. For one ,not every parent can engage in unschooling, either because he or she has to work to earn income needed just to live or because the parent lacks the qualifications to unschool the child (McDonald unschooled her children, but she has a masters in education from the Harvard School of Education. Other mothers who unschool their children have similar degrees.) Secondly, one of the most important features of school is that it is a certificating system—the goal is to get a formal recognition that the student has competed a certain degree of education, i.e. a diploma. In my case for example, I have several such diplomas including a doctoral degree and while I believe that I have learned a lot more outside of school than inside, this formal piece of paper is what has enabled me to get many of the jobs I have gotten. The author states that many students who are unschooled do get into universities, but at that point their education becomes “schooled.” Finally the author does not address the question of how school can be made more like unschool, since it is not likely that the entrenched education establishment will convert the present system to one that is like the unschooled model.This book should be required reading for all members of that establishment.
